From the Reform Association of Ontario (1991-1999) to Reform Ontario (1999-2003) to Representative Party of Ontario (2003-2006) to Ontario Alternative (2007), Reformers have been looking to gain back their original Reform Party of Ontario they lost in 1994, which had been their politically grassroot option for electoral purposes in the Province of Ontario. There is no doubt that Green has quietly replaced the RPO as the politically grassroot option in those last couple elections, but the GPO will be forced to elect a seat or break the 10% mark or else face either the replacement of Reform or possible grassroots merger of both movements. Reform brought much change politically in the past, the kind of political change Green is currently inspiring now, but if we are going to move forward into the future, we are going to have to see a quasi ad hoc Green-Reform styled grassroots political coalition being formed to create policy, take action and push legislation forward beyond its probable ways, means and methods to its possible ways, means and methods.
